Re: some Hebrew girls names
in reply to a message by lady murasaki
My favorite Hebrew names are Yaffa, Tamar, and Shalom. I also like Michal (pr mih-CALL), although that may be too reminiscient of the uber-trendy McCall for some. Meital is also gorgeous. If it's pronounced like may-TALL then I don't think its similarity to metal is a problem. I wouldn't use Avital, though. It sounds like over-the-counter cough medicine.

That's funny, when I first heard Avital I also thought it sounded like a medicine, then I got used to it, I suppose...
